Reduces hysteresis in the oven, and makes a nice crispy crust on bread and pizza. The lip in the back prevents stuff from falling off the back and burning. Really worth it for bakers, and probably great for frozen pizzas too. I use parchment so I don't have to pull it out and clean it too often, but it's not hard to clean anyway, except for the weight.

Reduces hysteresis in the oven, and makes a nice crispy crust on bread and pizza. The lip in the back prevents stuff from falling off the back and burning. Really worth it for bakers, and probably great for frozen pizzas too. I use parchment so I don't have to pull it out and clean it too often, but it's not hard to clean anyway, except for the weight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by S***N on April 14, 2026* I make great pizza in my oven with this. Gets the crust just how I want it and it takes only 10 minutes at 500 degrees ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy, good, useful. *by Y***V on January 14, 2024* It's heavy (7kg), and that's a good thing. Easy to handle, pick up and transfer in one hand (when cold) because of all the ribs underneath. Well thought design. Functional and looks good. Fits perfectly in the oven and in standard Weber kettle, leaving enough space for the indirect heat zone. Stores tons of heat and produces great crumbs on my breads and pizzas. ## Frequently Bought Together - NerdChef Speed Steel - High Performance Pizza Baking Stone | Integrated Backstop & Handles | Heating Fins (13.5" x 14.5" x .90" Thick) - Chef Pomodoro Aluminum Metal Pizza Peel with Foldable Wood Handle for Easy Storage, Pizza Spatula, Gourmet Luxury Pizza Paddle for Baking Homemade Pizza Bread (12 inch) - King Arthur 00 Pizza Flour: Premium Non-GMO American Wheat for Perfect Neapolitan-Style Crust - Finely Milled for Authentic Italian Pizza at Home - Ideal for Crispy, Chewy Pizzas (3 lbs) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/265873265-nerd-chef-speed-steel](https://www.desertcart.it/products/265873265-nerd-chef-speed-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
